As much as I love making jewelry, I love creating with food more. Cooking is my first love, so when I read the article in the Atlantic magazine by B.R Myers, The Moral Crusade Against Foodies.I have to say I took a side. I'm a foodie even if he thinks it isn't cool!
One of my favorite shows is Anthony Bourdains, No Reservations. Yes, he can be quite crude, but I love that I can gain knowledge on what people around the world are eating. I love learning about the different cultures, with food being the main topic!
As far as eating out, I don't agree with charging outrageous prices, for say, a plate of ravioli, with two raviolies and a tablespoon of sauce for 18.00.The atmospheres are not always that great anyhow, I'll stay home and make it myself thank you .
Loving food does not always mean you are a glutton. There are limits to everything.
Foodies Unite!!

I finally got this necklace done! I ordered a sterling silver chain and was not satisfied with the quality so I ordered a different style chain. I was given the two larger pieces to work with and this is what I came up with.The customer was well pleased and I am so glad!

One of the wonderful ways to shop at etsy.com is through thier treasury catagory. Treasuries are created by the members of etsy. They can include some really interesting items. If a seller has created a treasury (usually a compilation of thier favorite items) it will be listed on thier profile page. Visit my shop to see the latest treasury I have created called Snuggling Up To Winter. Just a few things to help you breeze through the winter season!http://www.etsy.com/treasury/4d024335f6ca8eefb445e0dc/snuggling-up-to-winter?index=2
